Can a specific language you learned be transferable when learning Rust?

Hi!, hope everyone’s ok. Sorry if this question is ambiguous (i’ll remove this if i break some rules here). This is more like a self-question in future (few years from now).

For instance, I have some familiarity with Elixir (concepts, ecosystem, <fill the blanks here>). Can things taught from Elixir be transferable, specifically Rust? if so, what paths or stuffs did you do in order to click, to the point you could answer like eli5 type of questions?

Here is the link. I am not sure if the video is open yet (it should be since it’s been awhile)

Knowledge between languages is almost always transferrable. Knowing C, C++, OCaaml, F# or Haskell would be the most ‘similar’ to rust, but rust has a lot of new concepts that transfer well to help you be a better programmer in all other languages, so rust definitely gives back more than it uses, lol.

What are your tips for language and framework creators?

If you had the ear of a language creator, what would you say - what could they do to make a language that you would use? :upside_down_face:

Best chairs for developers?

What chair do you have while working… and why? Is there a ‘best’ type of chair or working position for developers?

Would you choose one language over another language for something as minor as the presence or absence of semicolon?

I hate having mandatory semicolons in a language, no matter how beautiful the language is otherwise. What about you?
